FileFilter.java:13: error: cannot infer type arguments for Filter<T>;
DirectoryStream.Filter<Path> fileFilter=new DirectoryStream.Filter<>(){
^

1 error

Normally it works like List<String> list=new ArrayList<>();

But why it isn't working above ?

It seems Diamond doesn't work with inner class.

It does work with inner classes but not with anonymous inner classes.

According to the JLS section 15.9:
"It is a compile-time error if a class instance creation expression declares an anonymous class using the "<>" form for the class's type arguments."
